Movie Moments

These past three weeks of living in a new city and working with 70 hilarious children has been nothing short of a sitcom. My life could easily be turned into this spring's most popular comedy movie. These would be the clips I would want playing in the trailer:



Walking down the street with Patrick,  I said, "Patrick, if you put your backpack on correctly, you'll be able to walk faster without it hitting your legs." He turns his mohawked head to look at me, smirks, pulls out of his backpack a dirty sock, wipes it on my arm, and without words puts the sock back away.

Clowning around in the gym with Nevaeh, she looks at my shoes and says, "I have the same shoes, but in pink." I responded, "We should wear them on the same day so we can be twins!" She replied, "Well, yours are gray so it will look like something pooped on you."

Shuffling across the sidewalk with a sweet doll named Sikaya, she tapped my elbow and said, "Miss Kirby, your name sounds like... um, Miss Kirby, can I call you Miss Turkey?"

Playing a vicious round air hockey with Jaden, the score was 9-9, and I finally beat him with a 10th point. "Miss Kirby, you think that you won, but we are going to keep playing until Halloween."

Teaching Mad Scientist class, we began experimenting with electricity and our students quickly learned to fear for their lives. Using an extension cord and a piece of aluminum foil, we tripped the circuit breaker. Montrell picked up Camren and held him up like a shield. To protect him from... darkness.
